WDQK—Chapter 90: Earthly Soul Treasure, Cultivation Breakthrough!
Lin Tian's mind moved slightly, and he directly placed the Thunder Source into the system space, cutting off the control of the Thunder Crystal Beast.
Then, he suddenly turned around and looked at the people of the Liu family who were chasing him. He said calmly:
"I didn't want to make things difficult for you, but if you keep chasing me, don't blame me!"
As soon as his voice fell, Lin Tian's hands quickly changed, condensing into a complex seal.
Immediately, a blue handprint appeared in front of him.
The blue handprint shimmered with brilliant Yuanli light. In a very short time, it surged to nearly a hundred feet in size, resembling a blue sky, pressing down on Liu Kui and the Liu family!
Sensing the fatal threat from the blue handprint, Liu Kui's face suddenly changed. He hurriedly urged his Yuanli to the extreme, condensing it on the big knife in his hand.
"Heavy Mountain Sword Technique!"
A huge Yuanli blade light quickly formed and slashed toward the blue handprint!
The next moment, the blue handprint collided fiercely with the Yuanli blade light emitted by Liu Kui!
"Bang!"
A loud bang resounded as the Yuanli blade light exploded instantly. The terrifying handprint continued to strike Liu Kui, directly knocking the big knife out of his hands!
"Puff!"
Liu Kui suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the trunk of a towering tree before falling heavily to the ground.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Then, the aftermath of the blue handprint struck the other members of the Liu family, resulting in a series of dull crashes.
All the Liu family members who chased after Lin Tian were knocked away on the spot, and almost all of them sustained serious injuries, with a few unfortunate souls dying instantly!
"You... the people of the Di family were killed by you?"
Suddenly, Liu Kui's expression changed as if he recalled something, and he exclaimed at Lin Tian.
"That's right," Lin Tian replied, smiling faintly. "Originally, I planned to take the Thunder Source and leave, but you insisted on pursuing me despite knowing what was good for you."
"You... the Thunder Source is yours. Today, my Liu family admits defeat. Please spare us."
Upon sensing the murderous intent flashing in Lin Tian's eyes, Liu Kui hurriedly spoke up.
Lin Tian pondered for a moment, rubbed his chin, and said, "Well, since you are being sensible, I will give you a chance."
"If you want to live, then hand over all the Qiankun Bags from all of you! I'll give you three breaths to consider!"
Compared to the people of the Di family, the Liu family did not sneak attack Lin Tian; rather, Lin Tian intercepted them. Therefore, he was relatively tolerant.
"I agree!" As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking, Liu Kui immediately acquiesced.
With the Di family's previous experience, Liu Kui truly dared not hesitate.
Any delay could result in the Liu family meeting the same fate as the Di family.
Immediately, Liu Kui instructed everyone to hand over all of their Qiankun Bags to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian didn't hesitate and took all the Qiankun Bags from the Liu family members.
"Very good, you can leave now, and don't hesitate to visit me next time."
Lin Tian roughly counted his haul—he only had 10,000 fewer pure Yuan pills than the Di family, but he had acquired more materials.
"We wouldn't dare," Liu Kui said, hastily leading the rest of the Liu family away in disgrace.
At that moment, Lin Tian noticed that the Thunder Crystal Beast was also fleeing in the opposite direction.
"Haha, it's quite clever, but what a pity."
Lin Tian shook his head slightly. With a thought, a Yuanli dragon materialized beneath his feet. He stepped on the dragon and instantly closed the gap with the Thunder Crystal Beast, landing in front of it.
"Roar!"
When the Thunder Crystal Beast saw Lin Tian pursuing it, a fierce look appeared in its eyes. It roared, waved its claws, and lunged at Lin Tian's chest!
Lin Tian remained calm and retaliated with a palm strike, colliding with the Thunder Crystal Beast's claws!
"Bang!"
A dull collision echoed, and the Thunder Crystal Beast was shaken back, leaving a series of terrifying scratches on the ground.
Lin Tian's body shook slightly, and he took two or three steps back.
—
[Ding! You touched the Thunder Crystal Beast and obtained a Thunder Source!]
—
At that moment, the sound of the system reward rang in Lin Tian's mind.
Hmm?
Hearing the system notification about the thunder source, Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat—it was a surprise!
Lin Tian pushed off the ground and charged toward the Thunder Crystal Beast, striking it again with a palm.
Unfortunately, there was no system reward this time.
Lin Tian tried several times in a row but failed to claim the reward. He decided not to waste any more time and directly used the water spirit seal to eliminate the Thunder Crystal Beast!
After solving the Thunder Crystal Beast, Lin Tian's mind moved slightly, and he stored its body in the system space before swiftly returning to the location of Lin Dong and Qingtan.
When he arrived above the two, Lin Tian took out the body of the Thunder Crystal Beast and tossed it to the ground.
"Brother Lin Tian, you're back! Are you not injured?" Qingtan exclaimed, stepping forward to grab his arm and inspecting him anxiously.
Lin Tian rubbed Qingtan's head and smiled, "Don't worry, the Thunder Crystal Beast was already weakened and injured from its fight with the Liu family. I merely took advantage of that. I'm not injured at all."
—
[Ding! You touched Lin Qingtan and received the Earthly Soul Treasure—Thunder Sword!]
—
Another Earthly Soul Treasure?
Very good!
Hearing the voice of the system reward in his mind again, Lin Tian was pleasantly surprised.
"That's good," Qingtan said, visibly relieved. "Brother Lin Tian is truly amazing! Even the monsters in the Qi Creation Stage were taken down by you."
"Haha, let's share the spoils this time first," Lin Tian suggested, smiling as he shifted the topic.
"The corpse of this Thunder Crystal Beast will naturally belong to Huo'er and Little Flame. Although the Thunder Source is precious, Qingtan's physique is not suitable for refining it. Lin Dong and I will each keep one Thunder Source."
"Two Thunder Sources?" Lin Dong exclaimed, surprised by Lin Tian's words.
He had only seen one Thunder Source just moments before.
"Yes, there are two Thunder Sources."
Lin Tian smiled and withdrew two Thunder Sources from the system space that appeared identical, without any differences.
Little Marten couldn't help but express extreme surprise, "How can a Thunder Crystal Beast have two Thunder Sources? It's truly strange!"
"Who cares? It just so happens that Lin Dong and I will each take one," Lin Tian replied with a grin.
He then handed one of the Thunder Sources to Lin Dong.
Qingtan browsed through their options and settled on a magic sword as a weapon. Lin Tian provided both Lin Dong and Qingtan with 50,000 Pure Yuan Pills each.
As for the remaining items, Lin Tian kept them for himself for the time being.
Next, Huo'er and Little Flame divided the corpse of the Thunder Crystal Beast.
Lin Tian and Lin Dong each sought out a secluded location to refine their Thunder Source.
Qingtan held her magic sword and stood guard over them.
As time passed, the aura of Lin Tian and Lin Dong steadily increased.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Tian had completely refined the energy of the Thunder Source, and his cultivation Stage advanced from the Initial Qi Creation Stage to the Advanced Qi Creation Stage!
This rapid progress was attributed to Lin Tian's Eighth Ancestor Glazed Body, which enabled him to harness part of the devouring ability of the Ancestral Symbol.
Under the influence of this devouring power, the speed of refining the Thunder Source was remarkably swift!
Two days later, Lin Dong also successfully refined his Thunder Source, breaking through to the Advance Form Creation Stage. Additionally, he reached the level of a Four-Seal Symbol Master in terms of mental power! Furthermore, he finally perfected the cultivation of his Bronze Thunder Body.
As for Huo'er and Little Flame, after absorbing the energy of the Thunder Crystal Beast, they advanced to a level comparable to that of the Form Creation Stage!
"Let's go directly to Great Wilderness County. It's said to be the most chaotic but also the most exciting place in the Great Yan Dynasty..."
After both humans and beasts achieved their breakthroughs, Lin Tian gazed at the distant sky and chuckled.
